Prophylactic gastropexy is increasingly recommended in large-breed dogs predisposed to gastric dilatation-volvulus (GDV), particularly when combined with other elective procedures such as ovariectomy to reduce surgical trauma and anesthesia exposure. This prospective clinical study aimed to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and outcomes of a combined laparoscopic ovariectomy (LOVE) and total laparoscopic gastropexy with absorbable fixation straps (TLG-SS) using a standardized three-port minimally invasive approach. Six female dogs of GDV-prone breeds underwent the combined procedure. Surgical times, intraoperative and postoperative complications, and follow-up outcomes were recorded. The mean total operative time was 29.0 ± 3.52 min, with ovariectomy and gastropexy requiring 7.5 ± 1.38 and 9.33 ± 2.58 min, respectively. No major intraoperative complications occurred, and no conversion to open surgery was necessary. Postoperative recovery was uneventful in all cases, with only one minor portal site reaction observed. Owner satisfaction was excellent. The use of absorbable fixation straps simplified the gastropexy procedure and reduced operative time compared to other laparoscopic techniques. These findings suggest that the combined LOVE and TLG-SS procedure is technically feasible and well-tolerated in a small cohort of large-breed dogs, supporting its potential integration into clinical protocols pending further validation.
预防性胃固定术越来越多地被推荐用于易患胃扩张-扭转(GDV)的大型犬,特别是与其他择期手术(如卵巢切除术)联合进行时,以减少手术创伤和麻醉暴露。这项前瞻性临床研究旨在评估采用标准化三孔微创方法进行腹腔镜卵巢切除术(LOVE)和使用可吸收固定带的全腹腔镜胃固定术(TLG-SS)的可行性、安全性和结果。六只易患GDV的品种的雌性犬接受了联合手术。记录了手术时间、术中及术后并发症以及随访结果。平均总手术时间为29.0±3.52分钟,其中卵巢切除术和胃固定术分别需要7.5±1.38分钟和9.33±2.58分钟。术中未发生重大并发症,无需转为开放手术。所有病例术后恢复顺利,仅观察到一处轻微的切口部位反应。主人满意度很高。与其他腹腔镜技术相比,使用可吸收固定带简化了胃固定术并缩短了手术时间。这些发现表明,在一小群大型犬中,联合LOVE和TLG-SS手术在技术上是可行的且耐受性良好,这支持了在进一步验证之前将其潜在纳入临床方案的可能性。
